"I'm very pleased with my experience with TLG motors. They were
very friendly and helpful! I bought a 2002 Tundra at TLG, and I
have had my truck a week now and I love it!"

"I went to Fresh Rides looking for a truck
for a not for profit organization that
works with the homeless. The man who
came out to help looked me in the eye
and shook my hand. I thought it seem
like a good sign. We told him what we
were looking for and asked about two
specific vehicles. He steered me toward
the older of the two. He stated the
vehicle had only one owner and 'runs
great.' I asked him if there were any
issues with the truck. He stated that
they had checked it out and everything
seemed to be 'in great condition.' I let
him know again that I was representing
an organization that HAS VERY LITTLE
MONEY and that the purchase needed to
be solid because our private funding is
all from donation or out of our own
pockets. He assured me it was a great
truck and I test drove it. The truck was
slow to start and let out a huge cloud of
black and gray smoke when it finally
turned over after the third try. I was
already skeptical as I drove out.
I immediately took the vehicle to get
checked out byt a local reputable diesel
shop. It cost over $100 to find out what
Fresh Rides was trying to sell me. The
asking price for the vehicle was around
$12,000 - HIGH for the year of the
vehicle ('99) . The mechanic told me
that he was familiar with Fresh Rides
and that the trucks they have looked at
in the past had been OK. However, this
one was as the mechanic put it - "the
truck obviously had some issues that
they tried to intentionally cover up." The
mechanics over at Fresh Rides had
taken the time to thoroughly clean the
engine, the turbo, injectors etc. to cover
up the fact that the blown seals in front
AND back were leaking oil all over the
engine. The pinion seals, gaskets on
the front and back needed to be
replaced ($1000) , the air filter seal was
broken and needed to be replaced, the
Air cleaner was broken and letting dirt
into the engine, the Intake system was
toast and needed to be replaced ($350),
the TURBO had been taken apart and
cleaned but not repaired. The Turbo
replacement would have be about
$3500, the turbo wheels were totally
chewed up and they INTENTIONALLY
HID THE PROBLEM AND PUT A NEW AIR
FILTER IN TO COVER IT UP. The tread
on the tires was very low, they all needed
replacing, the paint was cracking in
many places and the clearcoat was
entirely gone, the air box was broken, it
needed an entirely new exhaust system
and intake on both right and left sides,
the factory exhaust system had been
hacked apart. The mechanic said that it
would cost a minimum of $5000 - $7000
to get the vehicle in SAFE working order.
When we got back and sat down with
the guy and told him what we had found
out we offered him a fair price for the
truck - taking out The the $5-7000 in
repairs the truck needed. He claimed
that he had 'more skin in it than that' and
that he had someone coming in the
following Wednesday that would
probably buy it. I said that there were
major issues with the truck that he
should be disclosing. He then said that I
was 'making a big deal out of little
issues' and they he could 'work with me
on the turbo hell I can replace that for
$100" he said. I said that we were too
far apart on the numbers and that we
wouldn't be doing business with them.
He just stood up said alright and walked
off.
I WOULD NOT LET A FRIEND OR EVEN
AN ENEMY BUY A "FRESH RIDE". THE
ONLY THING "FRESH" ABOUT THESE
RIDES IS THE GLUE THEY USE TO
COVER UP SERIOUS ISSUES. THERE IS
A SERIOUS LACK OF INTEGRITY IN THIS
BUSINESS."
